Systemd was not about speed. Speed is a side-effect of correctly handling ordering. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-biggest-myths.

Ah yes, systemd did promise the correct handling of start ordering (i.e. socket activation). Though this never happened in practice, you still need to manually specify dependencies in unit files, barring the very few daemons.
